Something Fabulous Happened

Noodle’s mom here!
I have such wonderful news to report this evening!!!

Tonight I decided to let Jamison lay on the bed for a little bit so I could snuggle him (gently). I grabbed a super soft velvety plush blanket to see if he would react to it (soft blankets are his favorite thing).

Not only did he reach for it but once he felt it, he purred!!! My baby purred!!!

*Insert happy dance here*

Look at how content he looked:

His temperature has been stable for the last 2 days AND his breathing isn’t as labored or as loud. He’s feistier when I him. I even got kicked today! 😁

He goes to the vet tomorrow morning to have his drains and sutures removed. Hopefully the tissue that appeared to be necrotic has improved.

We’re still waiting for him to eat on his own. I’m hoping that will happen by Sunday. He’s able to pull himself up into a regular seated position now though he can’t hold it for long. He’s also curling up tighter when he sleeps….AND HE PURRED!!! I can’t get over it. I cried when it happened. I never thought he’d make it this far. We almost lost him so many times.

My baby has a long road ahead but he’s making great strides and I couldn’t be happier.

Macy will be very happy when her buddy can play again. This was her last night outside the bathroom where he’s staying:

Macy is such a devoted friend. We could not ask for better news. I’m not a “cat” person, in that I’ve never owned one but my best friend has six, all dumped in the country that she rescued (there’s a pretty hilarious Chapter in The Book of Barkley, when Barkley and I housesat them all for a week).

This just makes me smile. Let the purring begin.

I am doing happy zoomies too, even though I’m not exactly sure what this purr thing is or why it is so exciting. (If it is the kitty version of a puppy-kiss, then I get it.) I know how worried my Mom was during that one day where she had to force that pink stuff down my throat, and her happy dance when I felt better when I woke up and gave her a puppy kiss.

We’re praying for everybody in the Hotel – especially for Jamison. I’m sure you’ll let us know how the vet visit turns out so that we can do our zoomies and happy dances again.

The power of love (and a good vet!)…….so happy that Jamison is improving. He looks alert and that snuggly blanket probably felt super good too. He’s really a miracle boy I believe…………..!! Sending hugs……..
